Since we have been together, it has been a rollercoaster ride. Lots of ups and lots of down. We both know the ups are so much better than the downs.

I stayed single for 8 months, I accepted that I was not going to have a future husband (no but seriously, we've all had that feeling). You came into my life when I was not looking for "the one." We met on a weekend getaway to Gatlinburg, Tennessee and since then my life has been great.

Thank you for proving that you are in it for the long run. Thank you for also proving that you do not want to rush things. Thank you for not giving me an engagement ring, just because you are getting older and all of your friends are settling down. Thank you for the promises you made and kept when you gave me my promise ring.

This post is for you.

Thank you for letting God be the center of our relationship.

"Do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand."
